June 21st summer solstice

We begin the day at the St Regis Cafe. This one of our favorite restaurants for breakfast located near the Notre Dame in the heart of Paris.

A visit to the Musée d'Orsay was as always enlightening . I love back stories to the impressionism art such as the Luncheon on the Grass or Déjeuner sur l'herbe one by Monet the other by Manet

At the time both of these paintings were criticized.

We were very exhausted by 3:00 p.m. (still recovering from Jet lag) so we headed back to our apartment. Later that evening we went out to dinner at a restaurant nearby and had a variety of pizzas!
 What an extraordinary day and good way to celebrate the summer solstice.
